Filmpeople, the online network for the film industry, will continue under the leadership of Sander Jansen as of April 1.
On Tuesday, March 31, Fedor Limperg, co-initiator of the platform, relinquished his shares and left the company.

Filmpeople was founded in 2008 by the two filmmakers. The company aims to provide a professional online platform for the film world that is accessible to everyone.

For 12 years, Filmpeople has been supporting film professionals in the Netherlands and Flanders through various websites, including Filmvacatures.nl, Filmindustry.nl, Filmcastings.nl, and Filmnieuws.nu. By registering, filmmakers can make use of various services.

The people served are not only film professionals and film students, but also actors and interested parties, for example. In doing so, the platform built upon its predecessor Filmstart.nl in 2008. “We have always taken an overarching approach,” stated the departed Limperg.

In addition to his work as a filmmaker and for Filmpeople, Sander Jansen has been active for years for various film-related websites and organizations, including VEVAM and ISAN. He also played a key role in the creation of the VERS website (formerly NFTVM).

Sander Jansen: “I am incredibly pleased with what has been achieved over the past 12 years, and expect that in the coming period we can work hard on improvements and innovations to the platform, to serve the film world even better, especially in these times.”

His departing partner is shifting his focus to his work in film idea development, acting, and directing classes. “I’m going offline for a while to start with,” says Limperg.
